New Jersey American Water Co. Encourages Odd/Even Lawn WateringNew Jersey American Water is asking its Monmouth County customers to use an odd/even schedule for outdoor watering to avoid the potential of stringent summertime water use restrictions. In past years, customers have helped reduce water demands when asked, and are thanked for their cooperation.The odd/even outdoor water use schedule works as follows:• Watering lawns or gardens should occur only on odd days of the month if your street address is an odd number (i.e., 23 Oak St., 7 Maple Ave.)• Watering lawns or gardens should occur only on even days of the month if your street address is an even number (i.e., 6 Oak St., 354 Maple Ave.)• It is also suggested that watering of lawns be done early or late to minimize evaporation, typically between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. and from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.These suggestions would NOT apply to:• Watering of sod or newly seeded lawns if daily watering is required (note: it is recommended that any planting of new sod or seed that has not already taken place be delayed until the fall)• Use of private wells for lawn irrigation

Water Treatment ChangeAs part of a maintenance program for the water distribution system, New Jersey American Water will temporarily change the water treatment process at its Swimming River Water Treatment Plant in Colts Neck and its Jumping Brook Water Treatment Plant in Neptune from chloramines (a combination of ammonia and chlorine) to free chlorine.The treatment change will begin the week of January 19, 2015 and last through April. During this period, customers may notice a slight increase in the taste and smell of chlorine in their water. This is normal and will only be temporary until the system maintenance is complete. New Jersey American Water will continuously monitor water quality to ensure that it meets or surpasses federal and state drinking water standards. For more information, please click here:
